Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2022-07-25 01:23:06 UTC

There is a strange thing in Backports:
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15:Update contains version 3.00
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP1:Update contains version 3.00
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP2:Update contains version 3.06.0.1
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP3:Update contains version 3.00
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP4:Update contains version 3.06.0.1, but a slightly different spec than SP2

That is why I suggest to fix this bug by updating all repositories to 3.06.0.1.

It is a binary tool, there are no known incompatibilities.

Submitted 3.06.0.1 for:
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP3:Update: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/990913
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP1:Update: BuildService API error: Server did not define a default maintenance project, can't submit.
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15:Update: BuildService API error: Server did not define a default maintenance project, can't submit.

If SLE 15 and SP1 are wanted, please tell me where to submit.
